Burnout: Letís surround your car with concrete and obstacles on 3 sides and give you 100 feet and see how brave you are. Now do it with your buddy's car instead of yours. Obviously this was one of those 'work with what you have' scenarios. A crappy burnout is better than no burnout in R&Tís eyes. For some reason they could not find an open area to do it in? Like an open parking lot instead of that death trap? LOL.

Engine Compartment: Of course it doesnít look good - this is a test mule / not the production engine compartment.

You just pretty much described how I do my big smokey burn outs before every 1/4 mile run I do, except I only roll out about 50 ft.

Too bad the ZL1 will come with this white black all-square paint job, i liked more the normal type! HAHAHAHAAH Seriously, why on earth is this car still with that wrap? Does GM think its pretty? hahaha

However- 1/3 of SS was upgraded/improved for ZL1. The tranny is probably the same (or very closely related) as CTS-V's (the same goes either A6 or M6). The rear is a new cast-iron case with probably a 14-bolt differential. The rear cradle bushings have also been improved.
